The Firaesi (Latinization) or Phiraisoi (original Greek) are a people listed in Ptolemy’s Geography (2.10). But 'right' has also another meaning aside from a direction.) įiraesi: a tribe living in Scandia which was an island according to Ptolemy but was actually the southern part of Sweden: Some of their hillforts were called "Laws" (think OLB citadel on Texland the etymology of Texla is based on a Germanic word for direction, "to the right". Taexali: a group of very probably Frisian settlers (lived near a bay in Scotland that was once called Frisian Bay) did they come from Texel (old name Texla) after the flood in 360 or 350 BC, a flood mentioned by the Frisian historiographer Schotanus? Same could be true for the aforementioned tribes. The Parisi in England had a different culture from the surrounding tribes (and in England their name is also explained as "of the wetlands, low pastures", "herdsmen", "commanders") īelgae: a group of Celtic/Germanic (?) tribes living in present day Belgium and Northern France probably they were the Fir Bolg of the Irish legends the Parisi were probably one of them (?) Parisi: a Celtic/Germanic (?) tribe living near the Seine some say their name means Frisii probably moved to Yorkshire, England. Menapii: a Germanic tribe living to the south west of the Frisii spoke a language closely related to Frisian as we can see by the Lord's Prayer in the Menapian language in Overwijn's book about the OLB probably moved to Ireland Ĭhauci: a Germanic tribe to the east of the Frisians were very civilized according to Tacitus and were being decribed almost like the OLB describes the Fryans but they were also sea raiders and often hooked up with the Frisians linguistic indications they went raiding and settling as far as Iberia ("Kaukaioi") probably moved to Ireland too and were there the neighbours of the Menapii OK, so here are some of my posts from the "Historum" site about this topic.Ī bunch of tribes, all - more or less - related to the Frisii: The Irish legends are like an intricate maze, and no one busy creating a fake 'ancient' manuscript will be willing to burn his/her hands on that. We all know, the Fryans were the most civilized people. 1- The OLB is a true account of ancient European history, and the Fryans did not like to be nailed as pirates and hooligans, so any Irish connection was left out of the OLB.
When this message is gone, I'm done editing}Īccording to ancient Irish legends the Frisians invaded their country.īut why don't we read about them in the OLB?
